> she'll live in a society where (probably/hopefully) most states have some form of marriage equality and marijuana is at least decriminalized. That is amazing to me. Welcome to the majority of developed countries on the planet now. One day, you might even see universal healthcare!

What are other countries where you are allowed to possess marijuana for recreational usage? Also, what about other substances, like lsd, psilocybin, or plants like peyote?

Found this list - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Legality_of_cannabis_by_country

As anonbanker noticed, Uruguay is where it is legal. Another one - North Korea. The rest of places are either sorta-legal, or "decriminalized", which often still come with fines or some kind of pressure from the law.

How can you call it equality if it still discriminates against the polygamous? :)

How can you call it equality if it's a public institution? Same-sex marriage is but a small part in the deceptively named "marriage equality". All people will be doing is playing whack-a-mole for decades (or likely longer) until all non-standard marriage configurations are finally enshrined into law. This is when they could simply privatize it and recognize marriage for what it is - a business/economic contract, and…

Amen! A free thinker, not a party line parrot.

Man, I tell you, this'll have an impact on Burning Man. What, I don't know, but it's actually a kind of a huge point out there that "no, you can't just tote up". I couldn't tell you the arrest numbers for weed, but my anecdotal understanding is that it's the #1 mistake that gets you searched that reveals all the other stuff...
